Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young

Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it will help you some sunny day

Take your time, don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

Go find a woman and you'll find love

And don't forget, son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

Be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this for me, son?

If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you can do this if you try

All that I want for you, my son

Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man

Be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this for me, son

If you can?

Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself

Follow your heart and nothing else

And you can do this if you try

All I want for you my son

Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man

Be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this for me, son

If you can?

Baby, be a simple man

Be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple man
